Modders enable DLSS 5 on Nvidia RTX 4000 series GPUs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Modders have successfully integrated DLSS 5, a new neural rendering technique, into games on RTX 4000 Series graphics cards. Initially, the leaked DLSS 5 binary only supported RTX 5000 Series Blackwell GPUs due to incompatible CUDA instructions. However, a modder known as "Uncle Burrito" patched the binary to enable functionality on Ada Lovelace hardware, which was verified by Tom's Hardware on an RTX 4080. This development raises questions about whether Nvidia will officially support previous-generation GPUs, though older hardware without native FP8 support may present challenges. AI

IMPACT Modifications to DLSS 5 could accelerate its adoption and testing on a wider range of hardware.

    DLSS 5 has already been ported to work on RTX 4000 Series graphics cards — incompatible CUDA instructions get patched to work on previous-gen hardware

    One modder has reverse-engineered DLSS 5 to function on RTX 4000 series Ada Lovelace-based GPUs, porting incompatible CUDA instructions within the Neural Rendering DLL, enabling them to be read on previous-gen hardware.
